Geography and ICT

There are plenty of examples of how ICT can be used to support the teaching of geography but on this page I want to flip that and look at how geography can support the teaching of ICT.

• Use Internet World Stats to look at how many people are connected to the Internet in different countries around the world.
• Look at how ICT is used in other countries/areas around the world i.e. ICT in Africa
• Look at how computers are used in weather forecasting / earthquake prediction
• Mapping the Internet
• How many mobile phones are in use around the world?
• The ICT Development Index
• "Beyond the Great Firewall" and Websites banned in China
• The 'population' of Facebook "If Facebook were a country..."
• Mapping the Internet
• Look at how Google make Earth, Maps and Street View
• "A World of Tweets"
